A dramatic fallout from the I’m A Celebrity: South Africa live final left viewers stunned, with Jimmy Bullard and David Haye revealing they were kicked out after a fiery confrontation with Adam Thomas and hosts Ant and Dec. In an exclusive video, David Haye, 45, and Jimmy Bullard, 47, were seen leaving the London studios flanked by security, claiming: “We’ve been kicked out. What’s that about? Genuinely.”
The controversy erupted during the live broadcast as the two contestants clashed with Adam Thomas, 37, over a series of explosive moments that weren’t fully shown on air. The two men had no hesitation in sharing their thoughts on Adam and the network’s editing of the live final, which led to a public showdown.
David and Jimmy’s remarks suggested that they were removed for speaking out about what they saw as biased editing in Adam’s favor. “For trying to tell the truth,” David responded when asked why they were escorted out.
As the tension rose, the pair waited outside the studio, their moods sour after being pulled from the after-show I’m A Celeb: Unpacked. In the parking lot, they bumped into Ant and Dec, who were leaving the building. Ant offered a handshake and a pat on the arm, while David gave him a warm hug.
A source from the show stated: “Some campmates were uncomfortable being on stage with David and Jimmy, so we decided to send them home during the Unpacked episode.”
The chaotic events unfolded as David and Jimmy’s clashes with Adam continued to stir up emotions. Jimmy and Adam had a heated argument, with Adam throwing expletives at Jimmy during a tense trial. While ITV aired parts of the confrontation, the two men accused the network of editing their argument in favor of Adam, which caused further friction. Hosts Ant and Dec struggled to maintain control during the broadcast, with Ant angrily defending Adam and denying claims made by David.
Later, viewers saw Adam look visibly downcast when he was crowned the winner, opting to skip the Unpacked show despite his victory. He thanked his fans on Instagram for their support and vowed not to let anyone “dim my shine.” Meanwhile, his wife Caroline took to social media, calling Jimmy and David “vultures” and condemning their “vile behavior” toward her husband.
The fallout didn’t stop there, as Gemma Collins, one of Adam’s closest allies, also lashed out at Jimmy and David for their behavior. Scarlett Moffatt expressed her sadness that Adam’s win had been overshadowed by the ugly drama, and other campmates, like Craig Charles, also criticized ITV’s handling of the editing, with Sinitta storming off during the live final due to her disagreement with Adam’s actions.
